+ the willbreaker's bounty.

Did you know that making a career out of harassing the elite, corrupt, and wealthy in Garlemald would earn you some ire? Zeph sure as hell knows! The sizeable bounty on his head is living proof of it.Many bounty hunters in Garlemald know of the Willbreaker, a particularly slippery, bold, and rather cocky target known to weave his way out of any confrontation with weaponized charisma. A relentless hunter could later return in tears, driven to wit’s bleedin’ end from the onslaught that is Zeph’s infamous brand vicious mockery.Perhaps the rumors are a slight exaggeration, but the fact stands that the Willbreaker is still out there—wanted alive, with a sizeable fortune to go along with it.

• AND MORE...?

+ a pirate's life.

Do you know how expensive it is to freeze your ass off in the wastes of northern Ilsabard? Do you know how hard it is to get anything done with bounty hunters lurking around? While the Garlean underground proves itself time and time again as a reputable employer, there comes a time where Zeph takes his leave from the northern reaches to work abroad.More often than not, this "abroad" work is assisting various pirate crews along the southern reaches. Those who sail The Bounty or Ruby Sea may be familiar with Zeph!

+ aristocratic familiarity.

Those familiar with the upper reaches of Garlean society may recognize Zeph on a more personal level. Putting his criminal notoriety aside, it’s not hard to recognize the disowned heir of Zakhar cen Sundaya, a rather prestigious alchemist admired for his contributions to the empire.Whether it be childhood friends or being forced to maintain a conversation in the world’s most dreary gala, Zeph has many social ties to his older life. Many of these connections would have likely noticed Zeph’s sudden disappearance a few odd moons before the calamity.

+ fight night.

When not busy being a legion soldier's worst nightmare, Zeph often finds himself frequenting various taverns, bars, and as a means of relaxation. Something about alcohol, friends, and a warm hearth does wonders to the psyche...Though if these locales have an underground fighting ring or something along those lines? Perhaps then there is relaxation to be found in a friendly exchange of fists. Zeph is always looking for sparring partners, banter rivals, and fellow adrenaline enthusiasts!

+ soulkin soulkiller.

Who needs voidsent pacts, hypertuning, and twelve knows what else when you can royally fuck up your aether on your own time! You only live once, after all, right?+     .FOR CHARACTERS WITH STRONG AETHERSIGHT:. Despite Zeph's physical liveliness, the man's natural aether will read as dead to anyone with strong enough aethersight. A dead man walking, yet one who seems particularly keen on denying the whole being "soul dead" thing. After all, he's breathing isn't he? Any commentary on being aetherically dead and his aetheric status will be met with a level of snippy hostility.+     .FOR VOIDSENT AND THOSE WITH A TASTE FOR AETHER:. A warm, living body full of blood and life... yet also stale aether. Hardly appetizing! I mean really, think about it. Do you want to drink the equivalent of water that's been sitting still in a ditch for some odd years? Disgusting! Horrible! Yuck!Despite Zeph's physical liveliness, the man's aether will taste identical to any dead man's. The body lives and breathes, yet natural aether barely flows through it at all. Any aether that does flow around appears to be artificially introduced, as if Zeph is also getting his aether from outside sources, just like you. . .

+ promethian might.

Zeph's beloved signature weapon: a pair of twin magitek gauntlets. Sleek, silver, and medium-weight, the fists pack a heavy punch with each calculated blow! Though the miqo'te is often seen without them, they are always somewhere in his general proximity. Who can blame him? He worked hard to steal them from the very architectus who made them, after all.+     .FOR EXPERIENCED MAGITEK ENGINEERS:. Something is off about those damn fists. It's a military-grade Garlean prototype, but it sure as hell is a dangerous one. One that certainly should have not landed in Zeph's hands.You're able to tell that something inside there is augmenting the wielder's aetheric composition, powering each punch with a bit of aether. Yet where is it getting all that aether from? There's no ceruluem intake, nor is there any power supply attached to the weapons.+     .FOR CHARACTERS WITH STRONG AETHERSIGHT:. While Zeph's body is full of dreary dead aether, this beautiful pair of gauntlets is practically brimming with life! Not only is it the majority of Zeph's lifeforce, but it appears to be a mix of other's aether as well!It doesn't take much for you to piece together that this thing is powered by aether, more specifically a mix of Zeph's broader aetherpool and small fragments of aether belonging to those the weapon lands a hit on. Is this safe? Probably not.
